Everything shut down in Kathmandu due to the Royal family massacre.
The streets were tense and deserted all day; people boarded up their homes
and shops to avoid riot damage. We attended the funeral procession and
watched the bodies carried openly on funeral pyres. The Princess's face
looked lifelike; her eyes stared at us as her body was carried by.

The King's funeral pyre.

A huge mob followed the funeral procession. The mob
pushed us aside and pressed us into the street walls as they passed,
chanting slogans against the prime minister and the government.
